well i went to see the car last night.i cant say that i was surprised or disapointed but heres my report.the car was blocked inside the garage by another vehicle so a test drive was not possible.the car is light blue metallic with blue tex interior.paint on the roof was faded.generally good over the rest. rear jackpoints were rusted out other than that no noticeable rust.paint looks original.interior suffers from the usual cracks to the dash and console.seats were good although i noticed the fronts looked a little oversized for the car.the engine seemed to start fine from cold.low idle was rough but smoothed out nicely with just a light touch on the pedal.seemed to be a little metallic knock from the injectors initially but that disapeared minutes later.the garage quickly filled up with exhaust smoke that seemed to be very fuel rich.the owner mentioned the car was emission tested and passed 3mnths prior when at the same time it received ontario safety certification.the engine area seemed fairly clean with no noticeable leaks of oil or coolant.upon checking the coolant expansion tank i noticed no coolant or sludge but heat was flowing to the interior.owner mentioned the heater core was just replaced.i will be going back for the test drive a little later this week
